Need a helmet for the track and would be nice to pick one up locally and try on rather than purchasing online.
Any ideas who has any in stock around here? Anywhere in the Bay Area works for me.
More $$$$$ to spend
this is getting expensive and I haven't even been to the track yet

Wine country Motorsports (I think that's it) at Sonoma raceway, or any cycle gear will have ones that's are approved. I use my Shoei that I have for my motorcycle.

I know they must be SA rate and motorcycle helmets will not work. Cycle gear only carries motorcycle helmets.
But I will check out wine country. Might have to take a trip out there

My Shoei is sa2015, the cheap motorcycle ones don't have the rating. A good shoei or arai will have it. They're not cheap, my Shoei was around $600. But a helmet is not a place to go cheap imo. I have the Shoei RF1200. But wine country will definitely have what you need.

A brain is not something they can sew back on or you can limp around without. 
I never understand when people want to race in the cheapest helmet they can find.
